...century Byzantine Emperor Zeno as his tribute to one of Christendom's most ancient strongholds. It was jt only a dozen years after Jesus' death that the apostle Paul brought Christianity to Cyprus, and Paul's companion, Barnabas, became the island's first bishop and patron saint. In 431, the Council of Ephesus awarded self-government to the church in Cyprus, and its archbishop ranked fifth in Orthodoxy's rigid hierarchy, after the patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem...
Died. Lieut. General Robert Whitney Burns, 56, patron saint of all G.I.s, who in 1959, as commander of U.S. forces in Japan, recalled a homeward-bound airliner, personally removed a rank-pulling lieutenant colonel, his wife and four children, and placed back on board the six emergency-furloughed enlisted men "bumped" by the vacationing colonel; after a long illness; in San Antonio...

His 27 divisions, decked out in eggshell-white uniforms with green badges, help build public works, even bake bricks and construct their own barracks. Naturally...
Personal Vision. Balanchine, who lives pleasantly on royalties that reach $20,000 in a good year, has been working without salary, but he pays his dancers well over union scale. His selflessness is highly purposeful; a choreographer, he says, has to "use people." Lincoln Kirstein, Balanchine's patron and the general director of the company, calls him "Oriental, impersonal, even sinister," but points out that "Balanchine has imposed his personal vision on the world of theatrical dancing." This is quite a trick, for ballet, according to Kirstein, "has become a means for the extreme release of physical and mental...
